Stephen, daytime ground wave propagation is a strange thing. A lot depends on the ground conductivity of your soil as well as solar conditions. Assuming you have absolutely no offending signals or

Hi Dave, Yes, you are correct. After having sent out the PL-360 7.5" plug-in AM loopsticks to 22different DXers, I decided that modifying the PL-380 cabinet to accept these AMand LW plug-in

We have a similar situation on the Atlantic side of the country in summer. Signals from low Africans such as Angola on 1088 and from transequatorial South Americans (numerous Brazilians, Argentina on

I suspect that it is because of the geometry of the receiver's internal ferrite: shape of the ferrite (round, square, flat, etc.), winding pattern, etc. Once a loop gets big enough (15"x15" box loop,

Last night while trying to pull out an ID on 850kHz from an oldies station, up from the noise comes a loud and clear "... home of the Rockies, 8-50 KOA Newstime 9:04". This was with my barefoot

Hi Kevin, I have also noticed that some radios will not work with the Q Stick. My PL-380 ignores it as did my Sangean made Radio Shack DX-398 and my current Sangean PR-D5. I wrote Gerry Thomas at

Gary, It appears that you have done a new top mounted mod for the PL-380 to make the receptacle match the PL-360 so you can swap between units, is that right? Do you feel that the 360 is as able as

Thanks for the reply, Gary. Yeah... unfortunately, at this time, getting to a beach location is virtually impossible for me. Also the biggest tuneable antenna I have access to is the SAT. I have

I'd swear I heard ESPN myself on 990 but it was last winter. Never could find a match. CKGM comes through with 'sports' but no mention of ESPN on their website. Also I know I've heard ESPN with

Sounds like it could be interesting. Do I have any chance from here in Southern California to log anything with my PL-380 in my back

Hey Farmerik: Thanks for the initial download on the coils! Can you quantify via the Tecsun's db meter how much more gain you get off of the 9.25" coil as compared to the Terk or SAT? I can imagine

Just trying to fill in my log in the 900 to 1000 segment tonight. 950 WIBX Utica, NY 5 kW 970 WNYM serving NYC, but New Jersey address 5 kW 980 WOFX Troy, NY [near Albany] 5kW The above are 5 kW

Hi Stephen, Thanks for your comments, and yes, I did see your post the other day (butcurrently lack the time to reply in detail). Your chances of receiving South Pacific DX in Southern California

Good deal for those looking for the PL-310: http://stores.ebay.com/fumin-Wholesale

Hello All, When John Bryant first told me (in early 2008) that it was possible toreceive Australia and New Zealand stations on the AM band right in themiddle of the static-filled summer, it sounded

Hello, Dear Gary, You have been making a LW ferrite, how many (aprox) windings have you applied?? I ordered this wire from dave, and I want to make some ferrite bars, starting with some old ferrite

Thanks ,Marc,for your suggestions. Carl
